Why? Just WHY? Argh!!!
I recently watched Fear the Walking Dead S3.
OMG - why do I DO this to myself? I don't like the characters, I wish they'd all get eaten by zombies, and the whole thing just drives me nuts.
So WHY did I buy it and WATCH it knowing this?
Self-torture?
Self-punishment?
No, I'm just jonesing for zombies. I'm waiting for S8 of The Walking Dead to come out on DVD in Sept/Oct, I'm waiting for a good zombie movie, so my next best thing is buying the freakin' Fear the Walking Dead.
Even though I can't stand it.
How's that for an addiction to zombie, huh? Needing a zombie flick so bad that I'll watch one knowing I'm going to blow my top.
And I did. I blew my top.
Within five minutes (I kid you not. 5. Five. FIVE MINUTES!) I was yelling at the TV, throwing my hands all over the place, rolling my eyes so wildly it's amazing they didn't just fall out of my head and roll on the floor for the cats to play with.
I wanted the lead heroine (Madison) to be eaten. Or smacked.
The son? Eat or smack, preferably both.
The daughter? She was okay until towards the end - that was a WTHell moment.
I'm telling you, this family is a walking disaster. They strut in there (that'd be Madison), do stupid things (cue the son and Madison), and then have a WTHell moment (let's just throw in the daughter here, okay?)
This family leaves death and destruction in their wake, they're worse than the zombies. I've said it before and I'll say it again - if there's a zombie apocalypse and someone says there's safety in numbers and to join their group - not on your freakin' nelly, people. Never. Nada. NO FREAKIN' WAY! I'll have a better chance with the zombies.
So as I sat there, the last episode finished, knowing there was no way I'd get those hours of my life back, and I'm fuming and a bit dry-throated from all the yelling and swearing at the TV, I just can't believe I have done it yet again. Been so strung out wanting a zombie flick that I watched FTWD S3. What is wrong with me? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?
I'm so tired just writing this. I'm exhausted. Now I hear that FTWD and TWD are going to do a cross-over.
My mouth fell open. (A fly nearly got in, too, but we won't go there).
Are you serious? Are you kidding? FTWD and TWD? All I can say is - nice knowing you, Rick! Here's a word of advice - RUN! As far and fast as you can from Madison and her kids. This little family has the capacity to wipe out every group - hey, ...wait a minute...just had a thought...
Send Madison and her kids against Neegan - that'd wipe him out! Secret weapon people, secret weapon! Why didn't I think of that before? Rick! Rick, listen to me! Send Madison and her kids to Neegan, wipe out your enemy (I know, it's ruthless, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, right?), and then run, Rick, RUN!
BTW...I have to get the fast forward button on the remote control fixed again. I've worn it out...

Update - Getting Closer!
Woooo! Getting closer! On the final round of edits now! Of course, this now happens when I'm on a stretch of work with 3 days on, 1 off, 5 on. But never mind, I'm still hitting the computer before and after work.
Just wanted to give you a quick update. I'm on track to hit the Dec deadline, will try for sooner. Could guarantee sooner if I didn't have to work for a living as well ;-), but then again my job keeps me grounded, too, and grateful for all I have. Not to mention I can keep the furries in the comfort to which they have become accustomed.
That reminds me, it's getting cramped on my bed now that 4 cats have decided to share it with me. And if I'm lucky Theo decides to hop up as well in the early morning and walk across my chest. Because he can...
Oh man, I have season 8 of The Walking Dead on DVD calling my name when I finish this book. I'm planning for one of my weekends off work - it'll be a back-to-back TWD marathon with a bag of chips ('cause you can't watch a zombie movie without snacks, right?). It's my little reward!
Okay ,I'm off to hit the sack now so I can get up early in the morning, go for a quick walk, sweep, mop, feed the furries and hit the computer for several hours before I leave for the late shift. Yeah, it is what it is - work and writing and sleeping and writing and work! LOL
cheers!
